"Inspired by the works of such visionary writers as M. Scott Peck and Max De Pree, authors Lee Bolman and Terry Deal have
crafted a powerful story of one beleaguered executive's quest for passion and purpose in work and in life. Leading with Soul
teaches that the heart of true leadership can only be found in the heart of a leader." "This contemporary parable chronicles
the journey of Steve, a dispirited leader in search of something deeper and more satisfying than a preoccupation with the
bottom line. He seeks answers from Maria, a sage whose wisdom was forged in her own hard-won business career. Although Maria's
initial questions seem far afield from business, Steve unexpectedly discovers the true meaning of leadership. By rediscovering
his own soul, he learns how to ignite the spirit of his organization."--Jacket

This book is designed as a portable mentor for new teachers. Through a close and intense dialogue between a new teacher and
a seasoned veteran, the novice comes to see troublesome situations more clearly, to anticipate trouble before it arises, and
to develop more comprehensive and powerful strategies for leadership. Through the outcomes achieved by the book's protagonist,
a highly committed and talented young teacher who persists in the face of obstacles and who learns from her mistakes, the
book provides an optimistic view of the possibilities for teacher leadership. The book's approach is based on learning to
use multiple "frames," each offering a different angle on the challenges of leadership. Four frames in common use among teachers
as well as administrators are discussed: the human resource frame, the political frame, the structural frame, and the symbolic
frame. Chapter titles include: "a New Teacher's First Day"; "Realities Burst the Bubble"; "Building Effective Relationships:
The Human Resource View"; "The Tracking Wars: Dealing with School Politics"; "Student Discipline: Understanding Structure
in Schools"; "'I'm Just a Great Teacher': Using Symbols To Revive the Spirit"; "Teaching and Leading: Balancing Family and
Career"; "The Essence of Teaching: Leaving a Legacy"; and "The Torch Is Passed." The book concludes with an annotated bibliography
of 12 publications. (Jdd)

This book was designed to help school board members work together to create an effective school board. Guidelines are based
on the premise that organizational effectiveness depends on individuals having the ability to recognize others' frames of
reference and to utilize multiple frames. The four frames commonly used by leaders include the structural, political, human
resources, and symbolic frames. The book uses the fictional story of a committed female novice to illustrate the challenges
that face the new school board members as she makes the transition from novice to veteran. In chapter 1, the newly elected
board member realizes that the position may be much more personally and professionally challenging than she anticipated. Chapter
2 describes the confusion that ensues from ambiguous board-administration roles. The third chapter deals with the politics
of education and policy formation, specifically, how to build coalitions among different interest groups. Ways to improve
communication and built trust among board members are discussed in chapter 4. In the fifth chapter, the novice board member
develops a deeper understanding of the symbolic role of school boards and the critical role that ceremony, ritual, and theater
play in building confidence in district's schools. The final chapter describes how effective school leaders apply the values
of the four frames of reference--excellence, justice, caring, and faith to their particular schools. Each chapter is followed
by a "signpost," an interlude that summarizes the lessons learned in that chapter. (Lmi)
